Description
A collectible, pocket-sized visual history of the ground-breaking and ground-shaking street style brand.
Discover the story of Dr. Martens, from its beginnings in 1901 as a producer of sturdy work boots to its position as a cultural icon synonymous with individuality and self-expression. Packed with photographs and information covering the company's entire history, you'll discover the cushioned designs and statement campaigns that made Dr. Martens the symbolic fashion statement they are today.
You'll learn about Dr. Martens origins as a work boot worn by postmen and factory workers and how the iconic boot was picked up by the rebellious ska and punk movement as a symbol of working class pride. Find out how Dr. Martens became the go-to fashion piece for self-expression in the music industry, from 60s ska to 70s glam and goth to 90s grunge and 2000s emo.
With an exploration of everything from Dr. Klaus Maertens invention of the air-cushioned sole to the brand's 2003 partnerships with high fashion designers, Street Style: Dr. Martens is the perfect gift for fans of this iconic brand.
